KAN KIT, an acclaimed artiste of Shiu Tin Troupe is renowned for playing male civil and military roles in Cantonese opera. She hears her costume assistant SIS WAH's complaints that SHING-HONG uses rejected materials in her apartment that is under renovation, so KAN KIT concludes that SHING-HONG is a fraudster.

Although SHING-HONG is still unable to accept the fact that his dream home was leased out to KAN KIT, he cannot do anything about it. The female character of Shiu Tin Troupe, WAN SUET-YIM, has always wanted to perform the main protagonist of the repertoire "Hua Mulan". However, after waiting for two years, she is still unable to fulfill her dream, so she cannot help complaining about it to KAN KIT. The chief financial officer of Chun Fung Tai, YIM KA-LAI discovers that the quantity of the paintings received is inconsistent with the ones they ordered, so she goes to the Full Moon Studio, asking them for an explanation. Because SHING-OI is the one who signed off on the delivery orders, SHING-OI thinks that KA-LAI began to suspect her of stealing the paintings.… ...

Passing by the mansion of KEI-CHEUNG's friend, SAU-FONG learns from the security guard that the new homeowner has already moved in, which makes her so happy that she not only prepares abundant food to bid farewell to KEI-CHEUNG but also serves them with fine wine for some binge-drinking. After several rounds of drinks, KEI-CHEUNG reveals that he really cares about SAU-FONG, SAU-FONG's daughter and KAN KIT, adding that he feels very much at home when living with them. Sensing there is something wrong with it, SAU-FONG turns on the recording function of her mobile phone, coaxing him into telling her the truth that he received commission after selling the high-end house for his friend. SAU-FONG then instructs WAN-YEE to install a hidden video camera in her living room.… ...

Through the webcam, SHING-HONG notices that there is a pregnancy test stick in his girlfriend's trash can; whereas SHING-OI also recalls that SHING-HONG went to the States to visit TSZ-TSIN two month ago. Wondering whether he is going to be a father, SHING-HONG immediately gets ready to go to the States, ahead of which he even reminds SHING-OI to find a new place for YAT-MING to stay. Since there are some people you just cannot live with, SHING-OI is concerned that she herself might have to move out once TSZ-TSIN returns to Hong Kong. In light of this, SHING-OI pressures TAI WAI to irritate SAU-FONG and the others by any means necessary, forcing them to move out earlier, so that she and YAT-MING won't have to find another place to stay. However, as soon as TAI WAI sees the tenant is actually his idol KUK SHIU-TIN, his attitude changes 180 degrees.… ...

Among all the job seekers, YAT-MING appreciates WAN-YEE's design the most. WAN-YEE didn't attach her photo in her job application letter, so YAT-MING has no idea that WAN-YEE is in fact the daughter of SHING-OI's arch enemy. During the job interview, WAN-YEE notices YAT-MING's reaction after seeing her, suspecting that he might not consider to hire her due to the bad relationship between the two families, yet YAT-MING gives a pledge to handle the affair fairly.

To her surprise, WAN-YEE claims that she was not seeking her approval, instead, she was merely notifying her of her plans. HAK-KAN wants SHING-HONG to tell KAM-FU about his support for the new project proposal because KAM-FU always thinks highly of SHING-HONG.

The cheque issued by KA-HUNG to pay for the renovation services bounces, so MEI-WAH borrows the money from the troupe after asking SHING-HONG for several days' grace, to which SAU-FONG and KAN KIT promptly agree. With SIN-TING telling WAN-YEE to prepare a draft design, WAN-YEE burns the midnight oil to make a miniature model to reflect her idea, but SIN-TING doesn't like it. Arriving at his repeat customer Miss HO's home to collect the renovation fee, SHING-HONG spots the intimate photos of Miss HO and KA-HUNG on her computer. Following another bounced cheque, MEI-WAH tries to contact KA-HUNG but cannot reach him, making her worry so much. While leaving her home with her family members, WAN-YEE runs into SHING-HONG, who suggests that she could collect the renovation fee first before returning to the office.

WAN-YEE receives a phone call from MEI-WAH, and YAT-MING enquires about MEI-WAH's current situation, leaving WAN-YEE puzzled. After WAN-YEE asks YAT-MING why, YAT-MING shows her the photos he took for MEI-WAH in the subdivided flat. With KAN KIT and SAU-FONG hiring SHING-HONG to renovate a small unit of a tenement house, WAN-YEE hopes that SHING-HONG would let her design the interior of the unit which MEI-WAH is going to move in to, so SHING-HONG tells WAN-YEE and YAT-MING to each submit a draft design to him. Finally, KAM-FU agrees to let HAK-KAN handle the real estate project with Mr. KAM.

SHING-HONG joins TSZ-TSIN, WAN-YEE and KAN KIT to have a meal together, during which he enquires how WAN-YEE and TSZ-TSING met each other. Seeing that TSZ-TSIN is full of lies, KAN KIT cannot bear this anymore, however, it's not yet possible for her to expose that TSZ-TSIN is two-timing. Apart from making an excuse to not stay in SHING-HONG's home, TSZ-TSIN also tries to shun seeing SHING-HONG on the pretext of discussing her e-Business with WAN-YEE. SAU-FONG, WAN-YEE, KAN KIT and TSZ-TSIN unexpectedly run into SAM while they are having afternoon tea together.

SHING-HONG then tells him that his friend is one of the filming crew of renowned Director LEE, yet he doesn't reveal the name. After seeing SHING-HONG's 3D interior design, SAM wants to adopt the technique when designing the action sequences of the motion picture. On the other hand, SHING-HONG reminds HAK-KAN that he should not be too aggressive when pursuing KAN KIT, otherwise, he will frighten her off.

In response to SUET-YIM's query as to the schedule of the play "Hua Mulan", KAN KIT tells her that she has already assigned SAU-FONG to handle the matter. KAN KIT asks KEI CHEUNG for his opinion regarding the new play script "Tuning in the Son", so KEI CHEUNG replies that it will hold greater public appeal if a romantic story line is added to the play. Going out for a date, KAN KIT and HAK-KAN pass by an antique store, where KAN KIT is greatly touched by the story of the owner of an antique hand fan, thinking that they might be able to add that story line to their new play.
